Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an optical recording medium for optically recording and reproducing information.
  • Magnetic materials are generally used for conventional recording mediums such as credit cards, floppy disks, and the like. These recording mediums are advantageous in that writing and reading of information can readily be performed, but have problems that the recorded matters can readily be altered and high density recording is not achievable. As means of solving such problems and treating a variety of information efficiently, optical information recording methods were proposed which utilize an optical recording medium, and various proposals therefor have been made regarding the recording mediums, recording-reproducing systems, recording-reproducing apparatuses, and the like.
  • optical recording mediums for optical recording and reproduction of information includes those which comprise silver particles dispersed in a gelatin matrix.
  • a heat-mode recording medium in which recording is conducted by projecting a spot-like energy beam such as a laser beam onto the recording layer thereof to change the state of portions of the recording layer.
  • a recording medium does not require a developing treatment, allowing direct reading after writing (called a DRAW medium), and enabling high-density recording and additional recording, and is considered to be promising as recording mediums for disks and cards.
  • Organic coloring matters which change their properties by receiving a relatively long wavelength of light are studied comprehensively for use in optical disks and optical cards, because the organic coloring matters are nontoxic and capable of being formed into a film by a coating method at a lower production cost.
  • optical disks have an air gap structure in which a void space is formed at the upper portion of the recording layer to raise recording sensitivity.
  • the formation of the void space in the upper portion of the recording medium facilitates the change of the state of the recording layer to achieve high sensitivity.
  • the optical cards are frequently carried and used in the same manner as in cash cards and credit cards. Therefore, strength against distortion caused by various external forces is necessary.
  • Optical disks are preferably of the minimum thickness in view of carriage and storage. In order to minimise their thickness, optical disks are also desired to have a contact-layer structure. However, the optical disks having a contact-layer structure disadvantageously exhibit lower recording sensitivity in comparison with the ones having the hollow structure.
  • thermoplastic soft layer of such material as a styrene-butadiene copolymer, a nylon resin, and a polyvinylbutyral resin was disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Application Laid-Open No. 63-2223 to improve the recording sensitivity.
  • a record-assisting layer provided on the recording layer is known to improve the recording sensitivity.
  • the material for constituting the record-assisting layer is desired to be capable of forming a film by a coating method on the recording layer without dissolving the recording layer.
  • the preferred material for the record-assisting layer includes curable rubber type polymer which exhibits rubber elasticity after curing: for example, silicone rubber, diene type liquid rubber, and the like.
  • the curable rubber polymers are classified into a room-temperature-curable type, a heat-curable type, and a UV- or electron-ray-curable type.
  • the UV- or electron-ray curable type of rubber can be cured in an extremely short time of from several seconds to several minutes, and exhibits significantly high productivity.
  • the UV- or electron-ray curable type of rubber polymer undergoes generally the cure reaction in a radical chain reaction caused by a radical formed by irradiation of a UV ray or an electron ray. Therefore, such problem is involved that a part of the radicals generated in the cure reaction will react with the organic coloring matter in the recording layer to deteriorate the recording layer.
  • US Patent No 4315269 discloses an optical recording medium having a light reflective layer, a layer of material containing a highly light absorbent organic dye overlying the light reflective layer, and an overcoat about 0.05-1 mm thick comprising a silicon resin.
  • JP-A-62-28291 discloses an optical recording medium having a thin film of which the main component is an organic dye containing 0.01-30% by weight of an amine composition.
  • the disclosure of GB-A-2155811 is similar.
  • the present invention provides an optical recording medium having the features set out in claim 1 of the accompanying claims.
  • Fig. 1 is a side view of an example of an optical recording medium of the present invention.
  • Fig. 2 is a side view of another example of an optical recording medium of the present invention.

  • the record-assisting layer 4 is formed out of a high-molecular compound having rubber elasticity (hereinafter referred to as an elastic polymer), providing the recording medium with the contact-layer structure.
  • the elastic polymer may be formed by curing a polymerizable component with a UV ray or an electron ray.
  • polymerizable component herein means a compound which gives a polymer by polymerization or crosslinking.
  • the elastic polymer employed for forming the record-assisting layer 4 includes, for example, silicone rubbers which are curable according to the mechanisms shown by the formulas (1) to (3). (wherein "n” is an integer)
  • the elastic polymer employed for forming the record-assisting layer 4 may include diene type liquid rubbers having a vinyl group in the molecular chain or at the end thereof, for example, as shown in the formula (4).
  • x + y 1
  • the formulas (1) to (4) exemplify the elastic polymers used for forming the record-assisting layer 4.
  • the record-assisting layer 4 has preferably a hardness after cure in the range of from 2 to 70, more preferably from 3 to 60 according to JIS-K 6301 (or ASTM D2240), while the preferred polymerization degree or molecular weight cannot readily be shown.

  • cyanines, merocyanines, polymethines, azulenes, phthalocyanines, and naphthalocyanines are highly effective in maintaining the recording sensivity of the recording layer 3 in combination with the record-assisting layer 4 composed of an elastic polymer.
  • the effective radical scavenger which reacts readily with a radical to inhibit the progress of a radical chain reaction, includes phenols, quinones, amines, and the like.

  • the radical scavenger is contained preferably in a weight ratio to the organic coloring matter of from 5/10000 to 40/100, more preferably from 1/1000 to 30/100. If the content of the radical scavenger is less than 5/10000, the radical scavenging effect is low, while if the content is higher than 40/100, it causes lower reflectance, lower recording sensitivity, or retardation of curing of the record-assisting layer.
  • the radical scavenging compound is distributed at a higher concentration at the side of the record-assisting layer 4 than at the side of the substrate 2 in the recording layer 3 to scavenge radicals effectively.
  • Such a nonuniform distribution of the concentration decreases the required amount of the radical scavenging compound, thereby preventing the decrease of the reflectivity of the recording layer 3.
  • the content thereof is preferably in a ratio of from 5/10000 to 20/100, more preferably from 5/10000 to 10/100 by weight to the organic coloring matter.

  • the radical-scavenging compound migrates to the side of the record-assisting layer by heating because the radical-scavenging compound is more sublimable than the organic coloring matter.

  • the recording layer 3 may be the same as the one described with reference to Fig. 1.
